Chris Hadfield

How To Become The Most Successful You Possible

These might sound like the words usually spoken by huckster motivational speakers, but not in this case. These are genuine words of advice spoken by a man orbiting at 230 miles above the surface of the earth.

Chris Hadfield is a true renaissance man. The astronaut just assumed command of the International Space Station — the first Canadian to do so. He's been a test pilot with the U.S. Air Force; was the first Canadian to perform a space walk; plays guitar; has casual conversations with Captain Kirk; and in between experiments, answers AMAs on Reddit and Tweets from space.

Even though he's accomplished more than most men can hope to in a lifetime, Hadfield remains humble. He doesn't think of himself as special — just a guy who decided to set goals, work hard and enjoy himself on his journey.
